Hackney Colliery Band

Hackney Colliery Band is a British jazz brass band from Hackney, London.[1][2] It plays music inspired by New Orleans jazz and funk.[3]

The band's name is an in-joke, as there is no colliery (coal mine) in Hackney, but this is a common name for traditional British brass bands founded by colliery workers.[4][5]
